Dims,
I was simply trying to clear up a point of ambiguity with respect to
my (and by extension my employer's) involvement in Tuscany. I was
hoping to avoid digging up the past, which doesn't serve good purposes.
Were the independents completely intransigent or were the others
inflexible? Sometimes people just have different goals and
reconciliation doesn't work because things are too far apart. I and
the others working on the SCA Java implementation left the project
because there was constant friction and differences of opinion, and
we felt it best for the two camps to go their separate ways. I
previously explained my motivations here:

Unfortunately, I don't have much time to follow Tuscany closely
although I do check the lists occasionally. It does seem both it and
our community (Fabric3) have a lot less friction and are growing
nicely. Sometimes communities just diverge based on differences of
opinion, technical or otherwise, and trying to villainize one group
is the wrong approach since it is not constructive.
I wish Tuscany luck as I work closely with some of those involved in
the project on the SCA specifications and have a lot of technical and
personal respect for them.
